Pilates Yoga for Dancers (Gillian Greenwood)

Gillian teaches PilatesYoga for dancers in the true spirit of how Joseph Pilates began with his foundations in dance when in 1926 he shared a studio with the New York City Ballet choreographers George Balanchine and Martha Graham.

Joseph Pilates was in demand to teach the dancers his technique. Learn to move with elegance, grace and ease – as in ballet, not like an athlete.  

Exercises are at the barre, in the centre and on the mat with the help of small, blow-up balls and stretchy bands. Learn how to find your ‘centre’ to control your movement.

You will tone, lengthen, turn out, strengthen and balance. All levels welcome, she will explain how to make the exercises easier or harder.

Wear socks and comfortable, clingy (not tight), clothes you can move in.…”eagle-eyed Gillian gives hands-on and verbal corrections to ensure you get the most out of class”…
